polymer simulations

  • reply from Max on Polymer modeling
    • AnalyzeKnot returns Alexander polynomial number. This is 1 for an unknotted linear chain (0 for a unknotted loop. Knots are really only for loops)
    • grosbergforce in Max’s simulations remains unknotted for 10^10 steps
  • Analyzing my knot data in greater detail — writing python script to run AnalyzeKnot on all output data.
    • see RunKnotAnalysis_140825

Data analysis

  • processing L4E1 data with CC
  • processing L4E2 data with CC
  • need to start graphing data against non-internal regions, get first impression of the scaling differences here.

New stains

  • L4E6, L4E7 and L4E6 + L4E7 Failed.
  • Stained with S1, these are S2 probes! – (why not to do experiments after midnight on Sunday)
  • restain L4E6, L4E7 and L4E6+7 with S2. (2.5 uL probe each + .5 uL 100 uM S2).

Meetings

  • lab meeting: postdoc candidate interview (10:00am – 11:30am) (see post)
  • fixing up slides for postdoc chat (updating figures etc)
  • post-doc chat + dinner (after sailing)
